Just yesterday I was writing about the first review of the upcoming The Road movie, and lo and behold here's the trailer finally available. Very much like the Esquire review lamented, the trailer plays up like an action-packed apocalyptica thriller, with fast cuts, cannibal drums and catchy phrases like "RUN" and "HIDE". io9, who put up the trailer (of which you can see a few stills above), even goes so far as calling it a "terrible Roland Emmerich thrill-ride."
I know the purpose of theatrical trailers is to get everyone interested in the film, but I have a feeling this movie isn't the fast paced on the run from cannibals, fire storm, kaboom, pow! flick the trailer makes it out to be - and it shouldn't be. The story is, at its heart, about a man and a boy and holding on to their last shreds of hope while encountering the darkest sides of humanity. It is not an end of the world catastrophe flick that puts a father and son on a fast-paced adventure.
Catch the trailer at the io9 web site, and make up your own mind. The Road will be in theatres in October.
